Feb 01, 2010 Shipments of LNG through Panama Canal may rise after expansion Shipments of liquefied natural gas through the Panama Canal may climb once expansion work on the waterway is completed, in 2014.

Once development is completed, 80% of LNG carriers will be able to fit through the canal’s locks, up from 6% currently, TradeWinds said. In practice, no such vessels presently use the link.

Repsol YPF is interested in using the canal to ship LNG from Peru and Kitimat LNG Inc. is also considering using the waterway to sell Canadian cargoes to customers in the Atlantic, TradeWinds reported.

The 80-kilometer (50-mile) canal, which connects the Pacific Ocean with the Caribbean Sea, is undergoing a $5.25 billion expansion.
